I see that your mind has been churning over the last few months since I saw you and in regards to your question about what dogs think. I think you may have it wrong.<br /> They think we are wonderful providers, but somewhat stupid when it comes to walking in the fields. Their senses are far more acute than ours, which in my mind makes them the superior being, as does their understanding of pack solidarity. Dogs have a wide variety of ways of showing us that we are accepted members of the pack: they lie next to us, often with a paw or snout on our body somewhere, or they will brush past us giving us a little hip check to let us know they are there. At any given moment they are fully aware of any movement that I might make in the house and are very quick to react to sounds such as cheese being unwrapped that might be to their benefit. <br /> Some people think that dogs are violent, but I think dogs brought up in a healthy environment are far less likely to do harm that humans are. Numerous times I've seen dogs get into spats and roll about on the ground exchanging the nastiest of conversations, but seldom do they do permanent damage. In your perspective I think you would say they are extremely loving and very willing to join in the work of the pack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
